You tell us…What is the state of our industry?

Oct. 21, 2021

"I love seeing how perspectives change year over year and how trends build over time."

We’re currently in one of my favorite professional times of the year—we’re soliciting feedback from the Smart Industry universe (and beyond) on trends in the industrial-manufacturing space. The responses we get in our annual survey will be presented in our 2022 State of Initiative Report, which for seven years has benchmarked your experiences and opinions on a host of digital transformation topics and trends.

I love hearing what you have to say. I love seeing how perspectives change year over year and how trends build over time. This reflects and informs the way you work in this space. This informs the topics we cover.

This whole Industry 4.0 universe is still pretty young. We’re thrilled to have been among the earliest to chronicle the growth and the changes. I, for one, consider it a privilege to connect with industry leaders to best understand their wins and struggles, their histories and their futures in this space.

I invite you to lend your voice to this year’s survey. Click here to do so…we’re offering Amazon gift cards as a thank you to a few winners.

And stay tuned for the 2022 State of Initiative Report in our Q4 issue of Smart Industry.

Until we automate this column,
